NTE low FPS in town/city areas? Performance optimization

Town areas have many NPCs and buildings, demanding more from GPU and CPU. Optimization tips: 1) Lower 'Scene Complexity' and 'Shadow Quality' settings 2) Disable 'Volumetric Fog' and 'Screen Space Reflections' 3) Lower render resolution (90% or below) 4) Cap the frame rate 5) Install on SSD to reduce loading stutter 6) Close background programs to free CPU resources 7) Mid-range GPUs like GTX 1060 should use 'Low' or 'Medium' overall quality.
